Livia drowned down some liquor before she slammed the emptied shot glass on the counter table. She muttered under her breath lividly, “What the hell is that bitch made of?” Sasha drank half of the contents from her wine glass before saying, “It doesn’t matter. Everyone breaks over something. We just haven’t found what breaks her yet.” “How can Greg even like her?!” Livia whisper-yelled, still unable to accept that the Duke kicked her out the other night and showed affection for Lucianne by how gentle his tone was when he said Lucianne’s name. Sasha seemed to have already calmed down from her previous encounter with the Duke. “Men don’t know what they want, Liv. He’s just blinded for now,

She snorted before asking, ‘You caught up to me within sixty seconds from when I took off, didn’t you? You just let me think that I was winning.’ He smirked as turned their bodies gently so that Lucy’s wolf had its back against the ground and his Lycan’s body hovered above hers, his hands on either side of her head. There was a glint in his eye when he said, ‘No. I never said anything. You came up with that thought yourself.’  His nose nuzzled hers and she giggled through their link before he continued, ‘And if I said that I caught up to you within thirty seconds from the moment you left me behind, do I get a reward?’ His arousal continued to fill the air. ‘The reward your animal is implicitly asking for is qui

He took in his mate’s unperturbed expression and asked, “Why is it that you don’t look surprised?”   Lucianne shrugged and said, “Because it’s not surprising. Rogue Lycans didn’t exist at that time. So how would you know about rogue wolves?”   He stroked her hand and smiled sadly, “We should’ve known.”   Lucianne’s grip tightened and their eyes locked, she said assuringly, “You do, now. You were young, Xandar. And you had no access to that information during King Lucas’s reign. But the fact is you chose to notice us as soon as you could. That’s more than enough. You and Christian have changed so much for all of us.”   Xandar scoffed before he said, “Wolves are still terrified of us though.” He recalled how the werew

Xandar made sure he held his mate’s hand tighter to intensify the sparks for this next phase. He cleared his throat and began, “The Kyltons are a distinguished family. And they have been a close friend of the royal family for generations. But for the longest time, their heir was a male. When the most recent Kylton was an heiress, my father had this insane plan to…pair us.”   Lucianne shifted in her seat and averted her gaze. Xandar kissed her fingers while still holding on to her hand as he continued, “My mother, being the doting wife that she was, supported it without question. When I went up to my father about the…issue, he told me that I’ll grow to understand why he was doing what he was doing. It was all about saturating as much power as possible for him. When I went up to my mother and begged her to persuade my father to change his mind, she just…told me that everything was going to be o

The floor-to-ceiling walls in the dining area exuded simplicity and class. The waiter led them to a table by the window and Lucianne remained standing to take in the view of the city. Xandar’s hand then came from behind her, resting on her abdomen as he whispered into her ear, “Lucy, how about we order first, then take in the view?” “Okay.” Lucianne whispered back but she didn’t move until Xandar gently tugged her hand towards her chair.  After they had ordered, Lucianne continued taking in the scenery. Xandar was taking in another scenery - his mate across the table. She looked absolutely picturesque as her starry eyes absorbed the sight before her eyes.  When she was done, she told Xandar, “I never imagined coming here th
